MAKE-UP PENCIL Filed may 21, 194e ALINE LENGYEL NEE PANAs #Hor/zeg yPatented Mar. 3, 1953 moet UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MAKE-UP PENCILAline Lengyel, nee Panas, Paris, France Application May 21, 194s, serial1810.28.481 In France May 30,v 1947 The invention relates to means forapplying make-up material such as rouge and the like and the primaryobject of the invention is to provide amake-up pencil comprisingacontainer adapted to contain and dispense liquid make-up material forthe lips, eyebrows, etc.

The lipsticks known and used heretofore do not lend themselves to impartthe desired shape to the lips, because said lip-sticks do not retain ashape, pointed enough for this purpose. the other hand it has beenimpossible heretofore for a lady to carry liquid make-up material forher lips and eyes safely in her handbag.

Another object of the invention is to provide a make-up pencil of thecharacter indicated above,

in the container of which a plunger is arranged, adapted to expel thedesired quantity of the liquid make-up material through anarrow outletprovided at the forward end of the container.

A further object of the invention is to provide a make-up pencil of thecharacter indicated above, the outlet of which is covered by a hollowconical eye brow pencil, a fine brush or the like toreceive the liquidmake-up material expelled by the plunger from the container andfacilitate the transfer of said material to the lips, eye" brows, etc. 4s v l A still further objectof the invention is to provide a make-uppencil of the character indicated above equipped with means`l` forpreventingl spilling or dripping of liquidv make-up material containedin the pencil or adherent on theL pencil brush, when said pencil is notiniuse, and is located in a hand-bag, powder box or the like.

Another object of the invention is to provide a make-up pencil, thelplunger of which is adapted to be used for refilling of the containerwith the liquid make-up material as well as for expelling said liquidfrom said container.

Other objects of the invention not speciiically mentioned may appear inthe following specifica- 2 claims. (C1. i-iev) 2 parts inA elevation ofa make-up pencil embodying the invention. V

Figure 1-A is a sectional view on the line X-X of Figure 1,;

Figure 2 is a vieu/.similar to Figure ,1, but illustrating anotherembodiment of the invention.-

The make-up pencil embodied herein comprises a casing i0 havinganinwardly extending annular dange II on its rear end. The forward endportion of the casing I5 is interiorly threaded as at I2. A disk I3 isprovided with an outside thread I4' and is screwed into the forward endportion of the casing Il). The'forward surface of the disk I3 has acentral forwardly extending boss I5 which is arranged concentricallywith the disk, and formed through the disk and the boss is the tapering,centrally locatedY conical opening i'. On the disk I3 a forwardlyextending conical hollow pencil or ne brush Il is securely mountedcovering thev conical opening I6.

A cylindrical container I8 is located inside the casing Ill and has' atits forward end a comparatively small conicalnozzle I9 projecting intoand.y secured in `the conical openingl YI6 in the disk I3. The containerI8.eXtends partway over the length' ofthe casing I0 and has on its rearend a semi-cylindrical prolongation 2i] f ,orthe purpose of imparting anrm position to the con-V extends coaxiall'ytherewith in forwarddirection.

therefrom. An internally threaded bushing 25 is mounted on the Aspindle24 and is provided with outwardly extending guide4 lugs 2B restingagainst the longitudinal edge surfaces of` the semi-cylindricalcontainer prolongation 2li. The casingl,iscoveredwith a cap 21containing a suitable plasticjmaterial Zpand in this materialy aconicaljcavity filis provided adapted to receive thesmall brushy I'I. n

'Ifhe above described make-up pencil'is operl ated as" follows; thecap2l isremoved and the spindle`24` istrotated' by means of the disk 22 sothat the bushing 25, which is prevented from rotating by the engagementof the guide lugs 26 with the container prolongation 2i), is urged totravel forwardly on the spindle, engaging the plunger 2| and urging itforwardly in the container IS, which contains the liquid material 30.The forward movement of the plunger 2| expels the make-up materialthrough the nozzle I9, into the hollow pencil or small brush |1, bymeans of which it is applied to the lips, eyebrows, etc. By turning thedisk 22 slowly, only the desired quantity of make-up material isexpelled, and when the cap 2.' is put on the casing IG the filled makeuppencil can be carried safely in a hand bag or the like.

In Figure 2 a slightly modified form of the make-up pencil in accordancewith the present invention is illustrated. The casing 3|, the disk 32and the hollow pencil or eyebrow brush 33 are similar to thecorresponding parts l0, I3 and l1 described above and are assembled inthe same way as explained above. A container 34 for liquid make-upmaterial 35 is located in the forward end portion of the casing 3|, sothat the forward wall 36 of the container abuts the rear side of thedisk 32. A central conical nozzle 31 extends forwardly from thecontainer through and is secured to the disk 32 into the hollow pencil33. A plunger the container 34 and performs the functions of a piston.In the rear end portion of the casing 3| a disk 33 similar to andcorresponding with the above described disk 22 is located and a threadedspindle 49 is rigidly mounted on and extends forwardly from the disk 39,which is firmly secured in position in the casing 3|. A tapped bushing4| is threadedly mounted on the spindle 40 and can be manipulated byreaching into the housing 3| through an opening 42 provided in thecasing below the rear edge of the container 34. By rotating the bushing4| so that it advances on the stationary spindle 43, the plunger 38 willbe engaged by the bushing and is pushed forwardly in the containerexpelling liquid make-up matter through the nozzle 31 into the eyebrowpencil 33. The plunger 38 is releasably connected with the bushing 4I byany conventional means. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2 aplurality of clips 43, having webs, from one end of which a flangeextends in one direction and from the; other end of which a secondflange extends in the opposite direction, are secured with one of theirflanges to the rear side of the plunger 38 and the bushing 4| isprovided adjacent its forward end with a circumferential groove 44,which is slidably engaged by the other flanges of the clips 43, so thatthe plunger and the bushing are connected with each other and thebushing may be moved rotatably relative to the plunger. By rotating thebushing in one direction the two members will be moved forwardly and byrotating it in the opposite direction, they are retracted. In thismanner, the plunger 38 serves as a pump piston, ejecting liquid make-upmaterial, when being moved forwardly and adapted to suck such materialinto the container 34 when being retracted.
